A severe winter storm is expected to sweep parts of New England and the Mid-Atlantic states this weekend with snowstorms, which will make travel dangerous and cause flooding in coastal areas.
Snowstorm warnings and warnings were issued from Carolina, Pennsylvania and New York to Maine, where snowfall is expected to begin this afternoon local time and continue until tomorrow, according to the US National Weather Service (NWS). .
“Travel will be virtually impossible,” said Patrick O’Hara, a meteorologist with the U.S. Meteorological Agency in New Jersey.
“It’s the first, very strong storm of the year. “Every few years one is recorded, it is not very unusual”.
Many parts of the areas that will be at the center of the bad weather are expected to see 30-60 cm of snow and gusts of wind at 113 km per hour, according to meteorologists.
In Boston, with a population of 700,000, the height of snow is expected to exceed 30 cm, while in New York City, the largest metropolis in the country, 22 cm, as experts warn.
Meteorologists point out that heavy snowfalls could significantly reduce visibility and gale-force winds could uproot trees and cause power outages.
Parts of the Atlantic coast are also facing flooding, NWS says.
